Get it checked out!: Blood in the saliva could be from a number of things. Periodontal disease (gum disease) is one. Inflamed tonsils, oral pathology, throat pathology, salivary gland pathology, etc. As a ylung person, it could be dry nasal mucosa that is bleeding a little bit and it's ending up in your saliva.
